When running the 64-bit Book3s PR code without CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, we were
doing a few things wrong, most notably access to PACA fields without making
sure that the pointers stay stable accross the access (preempt_disable()).

This patch moves to_svcpu towards a get/put model which allows us to disable
preemption while accessing the shadow vcpu fields in the PACA. That way we
can run preemptible and everyone's happy!
